RENDEZ-VOUS;HAITI is
now officially a club at Loyola University Maryland!
Thanks to the invitation
for me to speak in Dr Peter Lorenzi’s Social Entrepreneurship classes, socially
conscious bright energetic Seniors are volunteering to help the project in
Haiti.
My new intern Rodrigo Cordon Villa de Leon is working hard to make
RVH a 501 c ( 3) organization and helping with the campaign to raise funds to
build a chicken coop during Spring break.
Kendall Ryan, Nestor Cardona of the Enactus group, John Lenart, Raquel
Luciw and Justin Lu are all on board contributing their skills to make things
happen.
Amazing talents are revealed
to me as, for example, Kendall is showing not only computer programs mastery
but social-media savvy and Nestor net-works and secures a venue to sell the
bracelets produced by the children of the Foyer NDL: those Zanmi solidarity bands
are going to be the hottest item on campus if he has his way! These are two
examples about how students on campus are effective in supporting overseas
operations. I am really excited to see which other creative ways the students will find to be involved.
